Paul, can you please point out that the WVWV "press release" is extremely fishy, since it is:

1) undated, unlike every other WVWV press release ever;

2) not posted on the WVWV's media page;

3) seems to make it seem like they were telling people all along that they knew this was past the primary deadline, and yet saw no problem with the massive confusion this would cause;

4) was not actually released to any media.

Thanks.

Nor could I find any of the key phrases in their press release anywhere on the entire intertubes, using a Google search.

Moreover, Page Gardner's statement today uses some weird wiggle words:

"Nationally, Women’s Voices Women Vote registered over 100,000 new voters in both 2004 and 2006. Since July of 2007, almost 400,000 additional individuals have returned our applications in anticipation of participating in the 2008 general election."

How many of these "additional individuals" were already registered voters? How do they know they were returned "in anticipation of participating in the 2008 general election," particularly since they all seem to have been sent in advance of a contested primary election.

This is stinky.

Why is the press release undated? To whom did they release it, and when? By which manner did they release it.

It's certainly not among their website's press releases: http://www.wvwv.org/wvwv-press-releases

And it seems at least to have been dated after April 11.

Was this just something they created today to cover their asses? Why not just date it and make that plain?

THIS IS WEIRD!
